    Is this a single Wordpress blog or do you have WP MU set up?

    Read up on Wordpress Roles and Capabilities

    Go to user settings and change their role. If they are an admin or editor, change them to an author. A contributor can edit posts but they cannot publish them.
    After that, the Add New Category link will still be there but it will not work for them.

    Have you created the needed categories, also simply change the role of the people making the post!
